| Notes |
Das Bild wurde lange Zeit für ein Portrait des dänischen Marineoffiziers und Entdeckers in russischen Diensten Vitus Jonassen Bering (1680–1741) gehalten. Nach einer Exhumierung Berings im Jahr 1991 und einer anschließenden forensischen Untersuchung wird dies heute angezweifelt. Wahrscheinlicher ist, daß es sich bei dem Dargestellten um den dänischen Schriftsteller Vitus Pedersen Bering († 1675), einen Onkel des Entdeckers, handelt. Literatur: Svend E.
